Tane Danger, Co-founder
My last name is Danger. Really!
Tane’s Bio
As the Mayo Clinic Dolores Jean Lavins Center for Humanities in Medicine’s first-ever Artist in Residence, Tane offers trailblazing training for medical professionals to communicate with empathy and intention.
In addition, Tane is co-founder of Danger Boat Productions as well as The Theater of Public Policy. Through this work, he’s a keynote speaker, host, professional training creator & educator, and on-air commentator.
Tane believes wholeheartedly in the art of improv and that it teaches skills that make one more tuned-in, empathetic, and overall, a better listener and communicator. He is very proud of his interviews with brilliant thinkers like Michele Norris, Kara Swisher and Liz Cheney. While they were all very different people and interviews, he used his background as an improviser to have dynamic, authentic conversations on a wide array of issues.
When he isn’t performing, Tane is woodworking with his husband Eric, cooking (a lot), particularly from Milk Street (his favorite recipe website/magazine) and he bakes bread every Saturday.
“Improv teaches us to be in the moment, to listen with curiosity, and to respond with authenticity. Those are the lessons I share in every workshop I lead. They are what guide me when I’m interviewing someone. Generally, they also make life a lot more fun.”
